We’re at a pivotal moment in our efforts to eliminate the voluntary intoxication exclusion. This change is critical to ensuring justice for all survivors of sexual violence. As Will Rivera, NYSCASA’s Interim Executive Director, emphasizes, "We must not allow outdated laws to deny justice to those who need it most." Now is the time to act. Your support is crucial in pushing this legislation forward.

William Rivera, NYSCASA’s Interim Executive Director, stresses the urgency of eliminating the voluntary intoxication exclusion: "Intoxication does not equate to consent, under any circumstances." With strong backing from our state’s top leaders, let’s push for justice and support A1065/S4555.

We’re grateful for the support from New York Attorney General Letitia James and other state leaders who stand with us in advocating against the voluntary intoxication defense.

As AG James said, “𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙭𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚. 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙙.” It’s time to eliminate this victim blaming exclusion and ensure justice for all survivors.
